Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Boston Dynamics (Hyundai-owned) makes Spot (1,500+ across 40+ countries) and Stretch (at DHL, Maersk, H&M, and others), with about $130M in 2025 revenue across the two, and began Atlas humanoid production in January 2026. All of 2026 Atlas production is committed to just two customers, Hyundai RMAC and Google DeepMind (third-party pilots from 2027), and Hyundai Mobis will supply next-gen Atlas actuators as part of a Hyundai group plan to deploy tens of thousands of robots. Hyundai became sole owner in July 2026 ($325M for SoftBank's 9.65%, ~$3.3B implied), and CEO Robert Playter retired in February 2026, leaving a leadership gap analysts have flagged.
